Quote from textbook: “Only a few civilized tribes in Mexico and Peru wrote their history down on scrolls called codices, but not many of these scrolls remain.”

Error identified by committee: "Just because a society did not develop writing does not mean they did not have culture. This idea is rooted in racist assumptions about indigenous peoples being savage, uncivilized, and backward or behind Europeans."

Quote from textbook: "The heart of the Chicano movement revolved around creating a Mexican American community that resided within, but was untouched by, white American society.”

Error identified by committee: "The issue of separating from 'white American community', while some minor groups might have expressed such a sentiment, did not encompass the vast majority of Chicano Movement organizations."

Quote from textbook: “Chicanos, on the other hand, adopted a revolutionary narrative that opposed Western civilization and wanted to destroy this society."

Error identified by committee: While differences existed between Chicano and Mexican American organizations concerning political tactics and senses of identity, Chicano civil rights organizations did not oppose 'Western civilization and wanted to destroy this society.'

Quote from textbook: “Just like Europeans or Asians, there were racial similarities between Indians, but there were also countless differences

Error identified by committee: "What follows is an antiquated and essentialist concept of race as the division of human species based on differences in physical features defined by heredity. This view stems from 19th century ideas we now know as scientific racism, which has been disproved and discredited in anthropology and biology."

Quote from textbook: “While the majority of Indians throughout North and South America migrated continuously, some tribes chose to settle in Peru or an area in Mexico and Central America called Mesoamerica.”

Error identified by committee: "A majority of Native American societies were not nomadic."

Quote from textbook: "Between 1914 and 1918, Mexican workers who crossed the border legally received visas, or guest worker permits that allowed them to work for six months before they had to return to Mexico.”

Error identified by committee: "No work visas were granted between 1914-1917,"

Quote from textbook: “Ultimately, their Revolution resulted in a completely new form of government that looked to a new philosophy called socialism to solve the country’s political, economic, and social problems.”

Error identified by committee: "The Mexican Revolution did not lead to a new governing philosophy that the authors characterize as socialism."

Quote from textbook: “During 1826–1829, the Mexican navy was even led by U.S. Commodore David Porter.”

Error identified by committee: "David Porter was not a member of the U.S. Navy at the time he was in service for Mexico. The sentence makes it seem that he was engaged in detached service from the U.S. Navy to the Mexican Navy."

Error identified by committee: "A mestizos is the offspring of a Spaniard and Native American."

Quote from textbook: Mestizos “A person of mixed ancestry.”

Error identified by committee: "A mestizos is the offspring of a Spaniard and Native American."

Quote from textbook: Federalism is “a form of governing in which a national overarching government oversees smaller localized government systems.”

Error identified by committee: "Incorrect definition for the understanding of federalism within Mexican history. Federalism is a political system with a weak central government, and strong state governments."

Trevor Noah blasts San Antonio school's 'positives' of slavery assignment on The Daily Show

A lesson that asked students at a San Antonio middle school to find the "positives" of slavery has spread outside the city — it ended up on Trevor Noah's desk at The Daily Show.

Noah connected the worksheet titled "The Life of Slaves: A Balanced View," which was assigned to an 8th-grade class at Great Hearts Monte Vista, to the controversial take Kanye West offered on TMZ last week when he said slavery was a "choice."

"He's not the only one that doesn't seem to understand slavery in America," Noah said in a May 2 episode of his Comedy Central show.

MySA.com was the first to break the news of the assignment on April 19, after a parent blasted the worksheet on social media. The post was shared by others, including U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro. The worksheet asked students to fill in two columns, one asking for the 'positive aspects' and another the 'negatives aspects' of the lives of slaves.

A Texas charter school network has apologized for an assignment asking students to list positive aspects of slavery. Veuer's Maria Mercedes Galuppo has the story.

Noah said the student who filled in the assignment that was shared "gets an A for life" for marking the side of the table that asked for "positives" of slavery with "N/A."

He continued, calling the assignment "horrible."

"It almost seems like a trap to find the racist kids in class," he said. "Trick question, go to detention, you little grand wizard."

When the worksheet was initially made public Great Hearts Texas Superintendent Aaron Kindel said the assignment, which was only used at the school's Monte Vista North campus, "was very inappropriate and entirely inconsistent" with the school's "philosophy and culture."

The San Antonio school was not alone in Noah's coverage of "insane lessons on slavery."

He included real classroom scenarios of teachers across the country implementing slavery into math questions and others taping students mouths during a screening of Roots.

"All I'm saying is, if you're going to teach slavery that way, teach it all the way," he said. "Or at the very least, if you're going to teach slavery this way, end the lesson on a positive not, if you tie the kids up and make them watch Roots, then afterwards they get to watch Django Unchained and whoop the teacher's a--."

In their original statement, Great Hearts said administration would collect "all the facts" surrounding the assignment and conduct an audit of "Prentice Hall Classics: A History of the United States," the textbook used for the course

"The worksheet in question was not created by, endorsed, or encouraged in any way by Pearson," Director of Media Relations Scott Overland told mySA.com in an email. "We do not support this point of view and strongly condemn the implication that there was any positive aspect to slavery."

Yvette Reyna, director of communications for Great Hearts Texas, told mySA.com in an email on Monday that there are no updates on the school's investigation into the incident yet, but follow-up communication will be available on Wednesday.
